New Delhi: An airhostess whose contract was not renewed because of her being 'overweight' today knocked the doors of the Supreme Court for getting her job back.
Salome Singsit, 39, approached the apex court challenging the decision of Airline Allied Services Ltd, a subsidiary of Air India, alleging that the airline had arbitrarily refused to renew her contract.
Agreeing to hear her plea, a bench headed by Justice G S Singhvi issued notice to the airline and sought its response on the allegation levelled by Singsit.
She moved the apex court against the order of Division Bench of the High Court which had quashed its single bench order directing the airline to give her flying or ground duties after getting her medical condition assessed by a medical board.
